Description

I grew up near Boston. In this original song I kinda make fun of myself for singing Country music while playing three harps: a jaw harp, a mouth harp, and a harp harp!  And it’s a singalong!

Lyrics:

I was born in a suburb

of Boston, they tell me

And I lived in the south

of that suburb, you see...

And that makes me Southern so I can sing Country

When a Yankee sings Country it's music to me

I grew up in New England 

Not far from the ocean

Where there's fife and drum music 

And a grand symphony   

But I love pedal steel and git-tars and banjos   

When a Yankee sings Country it's music to me

Can a Yankee sing Country when  Nashville's so far

Can he sing it    while playin' a northern guitar

Tellin' stories with music

And drinkin' some beers

Singin' Country is music to my Yankee ears.

I drive a small compact 

So I don't have a pickup 

And my woman's still with me

Gamblin's just not my game

And I don't have a dog and I am not a cowboy.

But I sing Yankee Country and it's music to me.

Can a Yankee sing Country when Nashville's so far

Can he sing it  while playin' a northern guitar

Tellin' stories with music

And drinkin' some beers

Singin' Country is music to my Yankee ears.

I'm not much for whiskey

And I don't like camp fires

They attract fierce mosquitos

And make me perspire

But I love Country music from the safety of indoors

When a Yankee sings Country I always want more

Can a Yankee sing Country when Nashville's so far

Can he sing it while playin' a northern guitar

Tellin' stories with music

And drinkin' some beers

Singin' Country is music to my Yankee ears.

Can a Yankee sing Country when Nashville's so  far

Can he sing it while playin' a northern guitar

Tellin' stories with music

And drinkin' some beers...

Singin' Country is music to my Yankee ears.
